The girls "Nan" came over from New Zealand on a church tour a couple of weeks ago. She hasn't seen them in over two years so we made a special trip up to Salt Lake City to spend some time with her. Isn't she adorable? The little lady in the pink on the right is her friend and they were both absolutely lovely. She has the cutest Maori accent and is SO FUNNY. Her and her friend told stories, caught us up on the gossip and giggled like little girls the whole time.
I was really worried that things would be awkward, with her being Superman's EX Mum-in-law and all but it really wasn't. I loved that she introduced him as her son to all of her friends and that he still calls her Mum. He was quite touched and it made me proud that she still admires and loves him so much. He will always be her son and that just shows you how much grace and class this fabulous woman has.
Nan was so happy to see her girls. She couldn't believe how much they've grown and changed. She couldn't get over how much B2 looked like her mom and that LT is as tall as she is (which wasn't much of a stretch cuz Nan is SO TINY). The girls doted on their Nan and were overjoyed to see her.
It was an evening full of smiles and laughter and the time went by much too fast. She left the next morning for VEGAS BABY! (just the thought of those two tearing it up in Vegas makes me giggle) and then on to L.A. and then back to NZ. My only regret is that we didn't have more time with her. Maybe someday we can bring her over to Planet Vernal and then the girls won't have to share her with the church tour.
She really was a fantastic lady. Every wonderful thing the girls told me about her was true and then some. We can't wait until the big wedding in Australia to see her again.
